The difference between random people using the GPL and Apple is that Apple is worth a trillion dollars. That matters quite a bit.
- simondotau 5y agoIt matters if you're making an emotional argument, but I'm not sure it's relevant to any legal argument.

- simondotau 5y agoI am genuinely confused what your point is. Are you saying that "the difference between random people using the GPL and Apple is" nobody is making billions of dollars from GPL code? That it's an anti-trust violation which is ignored because nobody is making any money?
